Pawn Crossing the River

Qi Xuansu finally decided to postpone the implementation. The so-called good governance often offends those with vested interests, and those with vested interests are often those in power.

If it could be done with just one sentence, then there was no need for Qi Xuansu to ask Huangfu Xi for his opinion, and he could just give the order directly. Precisely because Qi Xuansu knew the difficulties involved, he did not force anything and just followed the rules.

This made Huangfu Xi breathe a sigh of relief. She had just come to power and her position was unstable. If she rashly implemented this kind of law, the ancient gods might not dare to directly target Qi Xuansu who was behind the scenes, but they would definitely dare to target the person who was doing the work. In the end, she would be the unlucky one.

The rebellion of Queen Unuratu has come to an end. Ixichel personally came forward. Qi Xuansu was forced to reach a compromise under pressure, so Qi Xuansu will not pursue the affairs of Wutu, Heron Club, and Insect Man for the time being. They all say that they will settle the score in the future. , now is not the time to settle accounts. Qi Xuansu did not officially abolish Unurathu's title of queen, but put it aside. If Unuratu is to be deposed, she must be convicted. If he is convicted, there will be a decision on how to deal with it, which will not make it easy to keep Unuratu.

So Qi Xuansu had no choice but to let Unuratu get sick too, and one of them went to the Sun Temple to recuperate, and the other to the Full Moon Temple to recuperate.

Qi Xuansu's big move in Xinpaititi quickly spread back to Yujing. Regardless of whether the many voices in Yujing praised Qi Xuansu or criticized Qi Xuansu, the impact is here, and it is inevitable to talk about Qi Xuansu. For a while, although Qi Xuansu was not in Yujing, he was in the limelight.

From the Taoist Three Shows plus Qi Xuansu, to the Taoist Four Shows, and now Qi Xuansu alone beats the Taoist Three Shows, this journey is really amazing.

Now it seems that Qi Xuansu is becoming more and more impressive.

However, Daomen Sanxiu was not idle either.

Zhang Yuelu will not talk about it. Her humiliating defeat in Borneo has become the biggest topic before Qi Xuansu overthrew the Tawanting royal family. Tang Dazhen, who has always been straight-tempered, said bluntly: "This is all nonsense. ”

Due to the intervention of the Heavenly Master, Zhang Yuelu is currently thanking guests behind closed doors and is very low-key. Comparing Qi Xuansu's high-profile, some people have begun to boldly conclude that Zhang Yuelu should just settle down and be the wife of the Grand Master, and stop competing for the position of Grand Master. If the couple joins forces, they will definitely win over the other two who fight alone.

Zhang Yuelu turned a deaf ear to these remarks and began to seriously consolidate his realm and cultivation just as the Heavenly Master had told him. The Heavenly Master set a goal for her. Without relying on external forces, without being greedy for merit and making rash progress, and by working steadily and steadily, she could reach the realm of pseudo-immortal before the age of forty. This is not too much. The founder of Xidaomen, Tantai Yun, was already an immortal at this age.

However, those old people did not dare to add insult to injury. After all, the Celestial Master had personally come forward, and an old man had already received a heavy blow from the Celestial Master.

On the other side, Li Changge entered rapid promotion mode. Li Changge first served as the second deputy palace master of Fenglinzhou Taoist Palace, and then was transferred to the Imperial Capital Daofu Palace as the chief deputy palace master. Zhou Jiaoxian, the former chief deputy head of the Imperial Palace, was transferred to the Luosuozhou Taoist House as the chief deputy head, working with Ye Qingshuang.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the position of chief deputy master of the Imperial Palace is somewhat useless, because the actual power of this Taoist palace is too small. First of all, it has the Daxuan court above its head, and other Taoist houses suppress the local court. , for example, the Taoist government in Borneo disposes the heads of various small countries at will, but here it is the other way around, the Taoist government depends on the court's face.

Then there is the powerful Qizhou Daofu next to it. For the sake of the Inland Sea, they took away the Bohai Palace. It is nominally in charge of it. Could it be that the Imperial Capital Daofu can’t take care of it? The Imperial Palace on the left cannot control the Imperial Palace, and the Bohai Palace on the right is lost, just like a living person losing two of his waist.

Being the chief deputy palace lord in this place does not have much real power. For you real people, it is half a place of exile. For example, people like Shi Bingyun who made mistakes and had no hope of career were assigned to this place.

The last time Qi Xuansu came here, it was mainly because of the matter at Wuxing Mountain, and it was on secondment, so it cannot be generalized. .bμν.

But for Li Changge, these are not problems.

First of all, the Li family has a close relationship with the royal family. Li Changge is preparing to marry the princess, and there is no pressure from the court. Secondly, Qizhou Daofu also belongs to the Li family. Even if Li Changge insists on taking charge of Bohai Palace’s affairs, Qizhou Dao

Not only would the government not say anything, but they would help Li Changge explain that it was only the Qizhou Dafu that was in charge, and it was reasonable for the chief deputy master of the Imperial Capital Dafu to want to ask. Of course, it is limited to this specific chief deputy palace master.

Furthermore, Li Ruoshui, the real person in charge of the Imperial Palace, is also a member of the Li family and will definitely not embarrass Li Changge. Finally, the Li family arranged for Li Changge to serve as the chief deputy head of the Imperial Palace, not because of the power, but to solve the problem of rank. Regardless of whether the power of the Imperial Palace is large or small, in terms of rank, there is no difference between the chief deputy master of the Imperial Palace and the chief deputy master of the Borneo Palace, and both can be promoted to the chief deputy master of the Third Hall.

Some people stop at the level of Chief Deputy Palace Master in this life, so they attach great importance to their power. But for people like Li Changge who aspire to be a great leader, they are just steps. These are all details. The key is that the rhythm of promotion cannot be messed up.

In fact, the Li family has accelerated the pace. Li Changge should not have been promoted to the chief deputy palace master so quickly, nor should he have become the chief deputy palace master of the Imperial Palace, because it is difficult to achieve results in the Imperial Palace. But Qi Xuansu's rapid progress forced the Li family to no longer stick to the routine.

Of course, this has side effects. Although Li Changge can barely keep up with Qi Xuansu, looking at their resumes, there is a big difference. When Qi Xuansu was the chief deputy palace master, he took down Wang Jiaohe, Sun Heyu, Chen Shuhua, and many high-level officials of the Borneo Taoist Palace to clean up the mud and turbid water and clear the clouds. Later, he reorganized the Nanyang United Trading Company, presided over foreign arms sales, completed the task of Jinque, stabilized the Daomen's finances, and also performed to a certain extent in resisting wind disasters and other aspects of people's livelihood. It can be said that he was both civil and military.

What can Li Changge do in the Imperial Palace? To capture Li Ruoshui and Shi Bingyun? Or are the ancient immortals causing trouble under the nose of Emperor Daxuan? His resume is bound to be lackluster.

In the future duel between Qi Xuansu and Li Changge, this will become Li Changge's disadvantage.

Qi Xuansu also had something to say, when I was in Fenglinzhou, I was the eighth generation disciple with the highest military exploits. I went deep into the enemy territory alone and recruited Suzuka Mountain. You were under review at that time. When I was the Chief Deputy Palace Master, I rectified Borneo and single-handedly stabilized the situation until Jiang Dazhen arrived. Later, I reorganized the Nanyang United Trading Company to develop trade and was both civil and military. At that time, you were doing nothing in the Imperial Palace. When I was the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall, I traveled across the New World, attacking the Steam Gospel externally, and suppressing the reactionary ancient gods internally. Even if you become the chief deputy master of Beichen Hall, you are still eating my leftovers. Besides having a better background than me, what else can you compare me to?

There's no comparison. Therefore, Li Changge was promoted rapidly at this time, which seemed to be very satisfying, but in fact it left huge hidden dangers, which would cause backlash in the future.

The Li family knew this, but there was nothing they could do about it. If you want to avoid hidden dangers and allow Li Changge to be promoted slowly, the result is likely that Qi Xuansu will become the real person in charge of the palace. Li Changge may still be the chief deputy palace master. Maybe Qi Xuansu will become Li Changge's boss, which will be even more There's no way to compare.

After Li Changge took office as the chief deputy palace master of the Imperial Palace, he did not often stay in the imperial capital. There was the Daxuan court here, as well as a real person in charge and a second deputy palace master. How could there be so many things to deal with? Is it okay to have nothing to do? To rectify the atmosphere?

Whether Li Changge is in the Imperial Capital or not, it doesn't have much impact.

Of course, Li Changge is not idle either. Like Zhang Yuelu, he needs to improve his level of cultivation.

This is also Li Changge's only way to break the situation. If he doesn't have enough experience, he has to make do with his level. However, both of them have the "Heart of the Immortal Stone". Under normal circumstances, they cannot close the gap at all, which requires some other external forces.

So Li Changge went to Qingqiu Mountain.

There have been rumors that there is a fox fairy in Qingqiu Mountain.

Because the cultivation of monsters is a hundred times more difficult than that of humans, and there will be a small calamity when they enter the immortality stage, so their hundred years are not calculated from the day of birth, but similar to the situation of immortals who enter the immortality stage. Counting from the beginning, plus the previous longevity, there are often monsters that exist for hundreds of years.

The leader of the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan is usually a woman, also known as the matron.

Every New Year's Eve in the Year of 1898 is a grand event for the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan.

The thirty-fifth year of a cycle in the Ganzhi Calendar is called the "Wuxu Year".

There is a cycle every sixty years, which means that there is only one Wuxu year in a period. If you miss it, you have to wait for another period.

This year happens to be the Year of Wuxu, and Li Changge was invited to attend this event.

The last time Master Qingwei participated in a grand event, he was still a child. In the blink of an eye, Master Qingwei was also an old man in his sixties. Master Qingwei did not participate this time because it was no longer necessary.

The so-called grand event is actually the selection of guests. Humans are the primates of all things in the world. They are the protagonists of heaven and earth. Even dragons and other divine beasts cannot compete with humans. Therefore, Qingqiu Mountain has long had the practice of inviting human beings to serve as guest ministers. Donghuang once served as Qingqiu Mountain's guest minister.

Every time a guest is selected, the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan will choose the best woman to practice double cultivation with the guest through the "Qingqiu Pearl". During this period, both parties will make great progress in cultivation. At the same time, both parties will also fall in love with each other and form a bond of love. . Finally, if you can cut off the love thread, you will be considered to have passed the love stage, and you are expected to enter the stage of immortality.

As for how to cut off the love thread, it is to kill the person you love and absorb his cultivation, or be killed by the person you love and give your cultivation to him. In short, the two will achieve mutual success and only one person will be left.

Later, Donghuang abolished this system and no longer cut off the love thread, nor did the dual cultivation, and turned it into a simple ritual.
